Abu Dhabi is one of the growing cities in the world. It is now go through to join the other famous cities development by the global important event, Masdar City and the Cultural District. Now I am going to explain the importation of these projects.

Masdar City is the world's first zero-carbon, zero-waste, car-free city. It's located by Abu Dhabi International Airport about 6.5 kilometer district. Masdar CEO Dr. Sultan Al Jaber announced a total development budget for the city of US$ 22billion. The city will save in a quarter of the century about US$2 billion. It's also will improve benefits of technologies, for example photovoltaic cells and concentrated solar power.


The Cultural District is one of the important projects in Abu Dhabi. It's going to be located in the Saadiyat Island. Its will be the area of high class museums, such as the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi contemporary art museum, the Louvre Abu Dhabi universal museum, a performing arts centre, a maritime museum, the Sheikh Zayed National Museum and a Biennale Park with 19 pavilions. It's will be created by the famous architectural experts for example Zaha Hadid (Performing Arts Centre) and Tadao Ando (Maritime Museum).

In conclusion, Abu Dhabi is a development city .It look forward to have another income for the country by those projects. It's also giving an example for the world to understand how all future cities should be built.
